The bottom line is that milk is great food . . . if your goal, that is, is to grow up and become a 1,200 pound cow.

So, what do you use instead of milk? Try one of the milk substitutes. Most health stores sell rice milk or oat milk or soy milk (if used in moderate amounts). Find one that you like and use it. And you can even find organic versions of these products.

Note: Whenever I talk about the negatives concerning dairy, someone invariably brings up the Bible and the biblical promotion of "milk." And yes, the Bible does indeed promote the use of milk, but with two significant considerations.

By no stretch of the imagination does the Bible refer to homogenized, pasteurized, Antibiotic injected, growth hormone "enhanced" cow's milk -- not by a long shot.


And more importantly, in biblical times cow's milk was almost never used. The tribes of Israel drank camel's milk (Genesis 32:15), sheep's milk (Deuteronomy 32:14; 1 Corinthians 9:7), and goat's milk (Proverbs 27:27). (In fact, goats were reared principally for their milk, making it the biblical dairy product of choice.) And indeed, goat's milk avoids most of the problems associated with cows milk and is a valid food choice.
